As long as there’s a recognised government, they should retain a country TLD

I hope they don’t turn .tv management over to MelbourneIT (Webcentral), or worse, GoDaddy.

Hand it to a decent Aussie registrar.

They’re very, very good at turning kitchen scraps and grain into dense protein (eggs).

And you get fertiliser as a by-product.

I’d say you didn’t actually remove the garbage. “Settings, apps, uninstall” doesn’t really get rid of it, the deployment package is still hanging around.

You need to use powershell to de-deploy those packages.

It’s a bit like the difference between “apt remove” and “apt purge”

There’s always the Microsoft telemetry blocklist in pihole. If you can’t stop the computer collecting the data, you can stop MS getting hold of it.

Do you tolerate the TPM/fTPM in your computer? Can you deactivate it? Can you query it? Can you tell it to do something?

Water absorbs a tremendous amount of heat, and if it’s being continually replenished from a cold supply, the hot water won’t stay around long enough.

We’re in a bushfire zone, even had one get close, late last year. We looked into suppression systems, and there’s two types - one has a series of garden sprinklers positioned on your roof gutters or overhangs. They get turned on to create a large, extended fan-type spray of water. The idea is not to extinguish a fire, but to absorb the heat so it doesn’t get hot enough locally to ignite your house.

The other type - which we chose - puts agricultural sprinkler heads on your roof peaks. Fed by a substantial pump from storage tanks ( 2 x 22,500 litre/5000 gallons), they throw in intersecting circles out to a distance of about 15 metres/50 feet. The idea is to saturate your roof and walls, and surrounding foliage sufficiently that it won’t ignite.

The fellow who built my house in the early 1990s was thinking ahead. Dual circuits, one for lighting on 24VDC and one for power on 240VAC.

If you’re referring to 5VDC circuit for USB devices, you can get GPO plates with USB power sockets: https://www.sparkydirect.com.au/power-points/usb-powerpoints

The film gets a lot of mostly-deserved criticism, but the gangster characters are fantastic. The Cotton Club - Bob Hoskins, Fred Gwynne, and James Remar.

I’ve got a fire suppression system. An agricultural sprinkler on each of the two roof peaks, fed by a pump from storage tanks. We’re off-grid (no mains) and already have the storage tanks - 2 x 22500litre/5000 gallons. With full tanks, the sprinklers should operate for ~7 hours, which is way more than necessary - three to four hours would be enough. The sprinklers “throw” interlocking circles of water, they intersect over the roof and saturate all the ground and foliage out to about 15 metres/50 feet. Water falling on the roof goes back into the tanks. The pump is electric, but being off-grd, we’ve got big batteries and a backup generator, so I’m confident the pump would run long enough for the fire to pass.

And JPEG2000 is what’s used in Digital Cinema Package (DCP) - that’s the file format used to distribute feature films. That’s not going away soon.

Firefox extension “easy youtube video downloader express” Silly name, great product.

I wonder if they’re going to keep their own herds of cattle on carefully-curated paddocks, to achieve gelatin quality the likes of which we’ve come to expect from Kodak?
